Chapter 270
An assassin appeared in the Queen Mother's bedroom. This matter is said to be small, but it depends on how to do it.
This assassination was a big deal. One-third of the palace maids and eunuchs were found to have problems. Not only were they related to the assassins, but they also did a lot of unruly things, either being beaten to death or being sent to prison to wait for disposal.
There were also censors in the court who impeached King Qi Zhou Jing, who exceeded the share that the prince could occupy. In order to enclose land and raise horses, he drove away hundreds of civilians and occupied their land.
The guards of the royal palace were also injured. Three of them had their legs broken and they could not stand up yet. The poor and poor family squeezed into the straw shed to make a living by picking wild vegetables and begging, and they lived a miserable life.
Not only are there big things like enclosing land, but even forcing other people's stores and forcing women to rob people, they have done many bad things that people have miserable lives.
The empress dowager, headed by Chen Chunwen, the uncle of the Ministry of Revenue, accused the censor of making things happen out of nothing. King Qi Zhou Jing was only eleven years old. Even if he wanted to raise a horse and enclose land, it would be reasonable. What is the point of forcing a woman to rob her intimate women!
He is an eleven-year-old boy, what's the use of stealing so many folk girls!
However, the Censor came prepared and revealed confessions one by one. There were sixteen women's football team members who snatched the Qi Palace. Except for three who gave it to the Qi Palace, the rest were all snatched by the guards and housekeepers of the royal palace.
What is outrageous is that even a small royal coachman, because he fell in love with the daughter of a merchant, even robbed the woman of a woman.
The merchant was dissatisfied with asking for someone, but was beaten to death and finally sued the government. Before he could finish the court, he died after ate twenty solid boards because the civil servant sued the officials.
The merchant's property was taken away by the three housekeepers of the royal palace by means, and the house was taken away by the housekeeper, and two were divided into the yard and sent to the coachman.
But the merchants were all driven out and rented in a dilapidated yard. They lived on women's laundry and had to write letters to others and name them to others.
The censor kept spraying wildly in the court, and his saliva sprayed his uncle and others on his face. King Qi was the nephew of Chen Chunwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Not to mention that the other party was the prince and could not be disciplined, but the butler in the royal palace was the Chen family!
To indulge the prince in such a way to ignore the law is to destroy the royal reputation. It is simply a ill-intentioned intention, and he should be punished!
Of course, Chen Chunwen knew what his nephew's temper was. He knew about land grabbing, but forcing people to steal women was a trivial matter for him. Especially if it was done by the servants, he would not care about it at all. I am afraid that even Zhou Jing himself would not know it.
But this matter must not be just taken off. At least it is a person who is not strict in discipline. Just deal with those servants.
But how could these censors win so simply? Chen Chunwen shouted: "King Qi is only eleven years old, and all the affairs in the mansion are under the control of the chief. The people below occupy the power of His Highness to commit crimes. He was just avoided!"
"King Qi is not young anymore. As far as I know, there are no fewer fireworks in the capital. He can walk on the road, but he still goes in and out of the harem all day long. This is a taboo!" The censor snorted coldly and mocked.
Chen Chunwen looked at him coldly, then looked up at the tall dragon throne. Zhou Kun looked at the ministers expressionlessly, without any intention of coming out to stop them.
He already understood that it seemed that the emperor wanted to use this matter to make some work.
The court quarreled for three days, and the dispute was scattered. No one on both sides allowed each other. The more quarreled, the more things were involved. Even the youngest son of King Qi's wet nurse, the nephew, left the relationship between the royal family and bought an official and entered the Ministry of Revenue. He was also involved.
Not to mention the relatives of other chiefs and guards, they were either arranged to join the Ministry of War or sent outside. A county magistrate even impersonated a juren and sent him out through connections. In fact, he was just a child, a person who failed even a scholar after many years of examination.
Finally, Emperor Zhou Kun was furious in the court and sent Dali Temple and Jingmen Mansion to investigate the matter. Because it involved many people in the capital, Jingmen Mansion could not ignore it.
All the officials involved were arrested and jailed. It is necessary to investigate the matter. King Qi Zhou Jing was temporarily suspended for two months and was not allowed to leave the mansion. He will be counted after the matter is investigated.
Yu Yishan, the minister of Dali Temple, and Chen Qingfeng, the governor of Jingmen Mansion, were summoned by the emperor to the garden after the court. This time they took on a hot potato.
Both of them lowered their heads and didn't say anything, and they didn't want to think about the emperor asking them to come over. They wanted to arrange something that would offend people if they were done well or not.
Zhou Kun looked at them with an expressionless face, and after a while, Xiao Yuanzi brought a piece of paper to them. He said, "You must check these people well. If you find someone committing a crime, check it out to me."
The two looked at each other, took the paper and got together to look.
There are densely covered with names on it, and there are official positions behind it, ranging from third to ninth ranks.
This list made the two of them a little strange. The Chen family has been in control of the Empress Dowager for decades, and anyone could have thought that this would make the emperor unhappy.
If we take this opportunity to get rid of some people from the Chen family, this is something that all the ministers in the court want.
But now, many people on this list have never stood in line. They have never heard of people from the Chen family before. Moreover, there are officials of all sizes, and nearly half of them don’t even know each other.
Thinking that the emperor could not leave the palace and could still deal with such a group of people, the two were shocked. It seemed that the emperor had secretly got some people. He could not be careless, and who knew whether what he did would be passed on to the emperor's ears.
Although the Empress Dowager is even more powerful, after all, it is the emperor who attends court, and if you want to punish them, you will not let the Empress Dowager intervene.
Unless the Chen family is about to collapse...
After being beaten a few more words, the two of them were sent away by the emperor. However, the list in their hands must be remembered and they must be carefully checked.
As soon as the two left, Zhuang Xuewen walked out from behind the screen.
"Learn from literature, let Ling Mei go home for the time being." Zhou Kun looked at him and said, locking Zhuang Rou in the prison, he always felt that it was not suitable. Feng Jingshui had to go there almost every day.
That person has a problem with his personality, but he is a useful person. He is the best person in the palace. He doesn't want to cause any misunderstandings because of Zhuang Rou, and finally ruin all the things he has arranged for hard work.
Zhuang Xuewen nodded, "Well, the capital is not suitable for her to stay. As the prefect of the county, Prince Yinde cannot leave Rendi for a long time. Let them go back together. I don't have time to care about her if I get busy here."
When Zhou Kun thought of the woman who even dared to shoot, he felt a little angry, "But the Empress Dowager wants to see Zhuang Rou, should you remind her?"
"No, Xiaorou is not a person who is so chaotic. She is actually very kind. The emperor just needs to worry about it." Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly. He was relieved about Zhuang Rou, and she knew everything about it.
Don't mess around...
Zhou Kun didn't believe it at all. After thinking about it, he decided to let Feng Jingshui take Zhuang Rou out of the Heavenly Prison and escort him to Fengshan Palace to ensure that Zhuang Rou would not cause trouble anywhere in the palace.
Zhuang Xuewen was not under any pressure for Feng Jingshui, who had bad intentions towards his sister all day long, and was not worried that something might happen.
Although Zhuang Rou was raised in the Heavenly Prison, it still took a lot of time to meet the Empress Dowager. She was taken out of the Heavenly Prison first and was rubbed by three old palace maids in an unknown palace courtyard for a long time.
After washing it and changing into new clothes, the palace maid also brought a pine and cypress branch and patted her gently, saying while beating: "Phone, the bad luck will disappear. Scan the sweep, and the lonely soul will leave..."
Zhuang Rou stretched out her hand speechlessly and let the three of them pat her on her body. She was so afraid that the Empress Dowager would be entangled with dirty things!
The bad luck was gone, and a nanny frowned and looked at her for a long time before saying, "Okay, just follow some rules when you meet the Empress Dowager."
"Of course, I am a loyal minister." Zhuang Rou patted her chest and assured, then glanced at the clothes she had changed. Xia Jia was still inside.
The nanny gave her a blank look, "Your things will naturally be taken out of the palace. Do you still want to wear armor when you see the Empress Dowager?"
Zhuang Rou immediately said righteously: "The water in the palace is too deep, with so many people, who knows where the bad guys are? If I encounter danger, I can even sacrifice myself to block the knife in this soft armor and keep the noble people at peace."
"In this way, it is a blessing for you to get hurt like this under your eyelids." The nanny hated the slickering person the most, and she looked at her and mocked her.
"Of course." Zhuang Rou seemed to be unable to understand, and was so proud that she was only on her hips. "It was just for my blessing. I believe King Qi had never met someone like me before, so it was a vision and a long experience."
The nanny looked at her like a monster. This person was really frightened, "Let's go, don't let the Empress Dowager wait."
It took more than an hour to take a shower, and it's called not to let someone wait!
Zhuang Rou felt whispering in her heart, but nodded honestly on her face, asking the palace maid not to lose her clothes, and then she walked out with the nanny and saw that Feng Jingshui was waiting in the yard outside.
"Eunuch Feng, why are you here again? Are the concubines in the palace jealous of your appearance and look ugly, so they plan to give you to me and take you out of the palace to call you?" Zhuang Rou approached over and asked in a familiar way.
The nanny was shocked and was about to scold her. How could she say such a shameless thing in the palace?
Feng Jingshui smiled slightly and said, "Monkey King Zhuang, you are so interesting. If you enter the palace, you will definitely make the emperor smile."
"That's impossible. You can't go out casually with such a bigger butt. There are so many rules that fools want to enter the palace." Even in the palace, Zhuang Rou expressed her bluntly that she had never had a good impression of the palace.
It's really unreasonable the more you talk about it. This can cut your head two or three times.
The nanny cleared her throat and interrupted the nonsense of the two, "Eunuch Feng, don't let the Empress Dowager wait for a long time."
Feng Jingshui smiled and made an invitation, "Prince Zhuang, please."
"Eunuch Feng, please, and the nanny, please, just follow me. It is said that the palace is dangerous step by step. There are two respected people in the palace who walk in front. I should be much safer when I get stuck in the middle." Zhuang Rou did not walk in front. The Ci'an Palace, who went to the Empress Dowager last time, was almost shot to death. The Empress Dowager heard that this Empress Dowager was even worse. Who knows what would happen?
There was no taboo at all. Feng Jingshui smiled and said, "Then let's go ahead, but the prince-consort of Zhuang is really like a person who wants to kill him, and it's getting more and more delicious."
"You don't have a chance." Zhuang Rou said disapprovingly.
Feng Jingshui raised his eyebrows, "No, there is still a chance."
The nanny looked at the two perverts and was almost jumping, "Go away quickly, the time is almost over."
